The applicants were assessed on their commitment to aviation, an aptitude for flying and financial need.

The financial support of the scholarship has allowed previous winners to continue with their flying lessons, and many have either entered the Royal Australian Air Force or have become commercial pilots.

Airservices is committed to fostering future careers in the aviation industry by sponsoring multiple associations that offer scholarships including the Royal Federation of Aero Clubs of Australia and the Australian Women Pilots Association.
